[English]

Hey there, Georgy girl

Swingin' down the street so fancy-free

Nobody you meet could ever see

The loneliness there

Inside you

Hey there, Georgy girl

Why do all the boys just pass you by?

Could it be you just don't try

Or is it the clothes you wear?

You're always window-shopping

But never stopping to buy

So shed those dowdy feathers and fly

A little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl

There's another Georgy deep inside

Bring out all the love you hide

And, oh, what a change there'd be

The world would see

A new Georgy girl

Hey there, Georgy girl

Dreamin' of the someone you could be

Life is a reality

You can't always run away

Don't be so scared of changing

And rearranging yourself

It's time for jumping down from the shelf

A little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl

There's another Georgy deep inside

Bring out all the love you hide

And, oh, what a change there'd be

The world would see

A new Georgy girl

(Hey there, Georgy girl)

Wake up, Georgy girl

(Hey there, Georgy girl)

Come on, Georgy girl

(Hey there, Georgy girl)

Wake up, Georgy girl

(Hey there, Georgy girl)

Come on, Georgy girl

(Hey there, Georgy girl)
